thebalanced.newsMan Alleges Traffic Delays During Punjab CM Mann's Yatra Led to Miscarriage
A man from Mehta alleged that traffic diversions during Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's 'Shukrana Yatra' delayed his pregnant wife from reaching Guru Amar Das Hospital, resulting in a miscarriage. He claimed roadblocks caused a 40-50 minute delay while his wife was in severe pain. Opposition leaders, including SAD's Bikram Singh Majithia and Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira, criticized the government for prioritizing VIP movement over public safety, questioning Mann's 'Aam Aadmi' image. The incident sparked political debate and social media reactions.
